LAM P-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 483,591, dated October4, 1892.

Application led June 28, 1890.

To all whom it may concern:

3e it known that I, SARAH L. WALKER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bloornville, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, haveinvented a new and useful Lamp- 'tove, of which the following is aspecificaion.

This invention relates to stoves and furnaces, and more particularly tothat class thereof known as lamp-stoves, and its ob- Ject is to providea stove of this character l having compartments wherein bread may beraised and cooked, and also having compartments for linen, cooking andeating utensils, and spices.

The invention consists of the details of construction hereinafterdescribed for accomplishing these ends, as well as in certainauxiliaries.

Reference is made to the drawings, wherein Flgure l is a front elevationof this stove complete, with the door of the baker shown as open and theright-hand shelf raised. Fig. 2 is a central vertical transverse sectiontaken Just in front of the hinged shelf-support, which is shown in thisligure as down. Fig. 3 is an end elevation showing the rear shelf asraised. Fig. et is a right-hand elevation showing the escape-pipe forthe products of combustion.

Referring to the said drawings, A is a Wooden box comprising the body ofthe baker and lined with a coating of asbestus a. This baker has a doorD, hinged atone side and preferably also lined with asbestus Ct, and thebaker occupies about half of the body of my entire device, as shown.Within the baker on legs h is supported an oven B, whose size isSomewhat smaller than the interior of the baker, which oven also has adoor in its front, as will be clearly understood. Within the body of thedevice and upon the bottom thereof is a wooden block K2, upon whichrests an ordinary oiliamp L, and the chimney of this lamp extends upwardthrough an opening A in the bottom in the baker to a point near thebottom of the oven when the latter is in place within the baker. Whenthis lamp is lit, the products of combustion rising therefrom passcompletely around the oven, as shown by the arrows, and make their exitfrom the device through a tube c, connected Serial No. 357,108. (Nomodel.)

by a pipe C with the chimney or with any suitable exit-line. In thismanner bread or cake can be baked within the oven in a manner which willbe readily understood.

His a receptacle having a'hinged door h and occupying a position at theleft of the baker, so as to take up substantially all the remainder ofthe space within the entire device. This box H is lined with paper H3and inside of that with tin H4 in order to render it mold-proof, and thedoor H is also similarly lined.

Above and below the receptacle H are drawers E of various sizes and forvarious purposes, one of the drawers at the top being preferably dividedinto a number of compartments for spices. The drawers atthe bottom arequite copious, and two small drawers e may also be provided, if desired,at the other side of the lamp, as shown.

At the right of the device is preferably located a metal shelf M, formedof coarse wirenetting, with the surrounding frame 'nt and supported by abraket K, hinged at 71: to the side of the body. At the inner end of theframe M are depending hooks N, which engage eyes or sockets n on thebody of the device, and the upper ends of the brackets K abut againstthe stops K on the shelf, as shown. This shelf is made of metal in orderthat the heat from hot dishes placed thereon will not burn it.

G is a large shelf hinged at g to the rear corner of the top of thisdevice and supported by other brakets K, the same as those abovedescribed.

The asbestus lining eifectually protects the woodwork, and in order torender this entire device insect-proof I support the same upon legs Q,which are substantially of the shape shown-that is to say, the body hasan upwardly and outwardly extending annular flange, forming a cup, whichis filled with powdered alum or insect-powder, or even with water. Thestein of the body extends upwardly from the bottom of this cup into themain body of the device, and upon this stem is a cover extendingoutwardly slightly beyond the edge of the flange, whereby dust isprevented from accumulating therein, as will be understood.

With the above construction of parts the dough is kneaded and the breadis made upon the shelf G or upon the top of the device, and the same isput into the receptacle H to rise. When it is risen sufficiently, thedough is taken from the receptacle and put into the oven, and if thelamp is lit and a necessary amount of heat generated the bread will berapidly baked in the oven. It may be then taken out and kept stored inthe receptacle. The oven B is removable from the baker and may bereplaced by a smaller oven, if desired, for other purposes. g

The wire-netting shelf M is designed for washing dishes, and when not inuse may be removed and put inside the baker alongside the oven, as shownin Fig. 2.

Considerable departure may be made from the details of constructionabove described without essentially changing the nature of my invention.

That I claim is- In a device of the character set forth, the combinationof a Wooden box having a central vertically-disposed partition dividingthe same into opposite compartments, one of which is formed as a bakerand provided with a hinged door lined with asbestus and With ahorizontal partition above the bottom of the boX, with a central openingtherein dividing the compartment in which it is situated into an upperenlarged closed baking-chamber space and a lower reduced lamp-chamber having a tier of drawers in one end thereof, a lining .of asbestusentirelyT surrounding the interior of thesaid baking-chamberspace andhaving a central opening in the bottom thereof aligning with the openingin said horizontal partition, feet projecting upward from the saidhorizontal partition on opposite sides of the opening therein, abaking-chamber removably resting on the said feet and having a hingeddoor, and a wooden block in the bottom of the lampcompartinent forsupporting a lamp and ele- SARAH L.
